🚢 Virgin Voyages Vlog | Day 2 on Resilient Lady – Valencia, Spain & Party Night Day 2 of our Virgin Voyages cruise takes us to Valencia, and it’s our first full day onboard Resilient Lady! After docking, we hop on the cruise shuttle and head straight into the city to explore one of Spain’s most historic and walkable ports. We wander through Valencia’s old town, discovering landmarks like Torres de Serrans, a massive medieval city gate with incredible views over the city, and nearby Plaza de Manises, surrounded by historic buildings and narrow streets full of character. Along the way, we stop to enjoy some local food and drinks — including sangria, of course 🍷🇪🇸 After a great day ashore, we head back to the ship to do some onboard exploring before sail away. The evening wraps up in classic Virgin Voyages style with dinner at The Wake, followed by live music in the Roundabout, a band playing at On the Rocks, a comedian in the Red Room, and finally the legendary pajama party in The Manor 🎶😂🎉 This episode is the perfect mix of port exploration, ship life, food, entertainment, and that unmistakable Virgin Voyages vibe. 👇 Let us know in the comments: Have you visited Valencia on a cruise? And would you brave the stairs at Torres de Serrans? 🚢 More Virgin Voyages Vlogs coming soon — including more from Resilient Lady, sea days, dining, and nightlife.
